Quai de Loire and Quai de Seine theatres, operated by MK 2
These two multiplexes are across a canal from each other and operates a ferry boat between both locations.

Also UGC Cine Cite Les Halles with its 19 screens.

La Geode is pretty neat: typical Imax Dome theatre but the outside is polished so it looks like a giant ball bearing.

Probably the most famous museum in the history of film is in Paris, the Cinematheque Francaise in the 12th arrondissement. This is where Henri Langlois pretty much saved all of European cinema from the German occupation during World War 2, he had collected film prints from all over the world prior to the war, and when Vichy ordered them destroyed he managed to smuggle almost all of them out until after the liberation. When the French government tried to remove Langlois from control of the museum in 1968, it touched off riots in the streets. I haven’t been in years, but I know there is still an operating cinema there, along with a large exhibit area and an extensive collection of cameras and related equipment.

The "Max Linder Panorama" has been a favourite of mine since 1992

My pictures of the beautiful cinema: http://www.in70mm.com/news/2010/max_linder/_gallery/index.htm

Unfortunately, both DP70s are gone these days

Enjoy Paris

The French Cinematheque moved to a new building in 2005 - previous DP70 Cinematheque installations can be seen here: http://www.in70mm.com/dp70/country/europe/france/index.htm

I was just in Paris myself. I missed the Cinematheque, but I did see Sicario at the Max Linder, both of which I enjoyed. The film (well, video, really) was shown in English with French subtitles. Apparently, "VO" at the box office indicates "original language." I was a bit put off by the "ST- FR" indication, which I thought meant something like "soundtrack in French," but which actually indicated the subtitle language.
